Synopsis
Henry, a spunky Siamese cat, always follows his family wherever they go - and Christmastime is no exception! When The Kid takes part in the town's Christmas pageant, Henry is determined to be in it, too. After all, the manger sure makes a comfortable bed. And who says cats can't sing Christmas carols? Me-yow-y-yow meow meow! Of course, wherever Henry goes, adventure follows. And soon he finds he must play a shepherd offstage in order to save the pageant. But if this cat can't do it, no one can! Mary Calhoun's sparkling amusing tale and Erick Ingraham's luminous illustrations will enchant Henry's fans at Christmastime and the whole year through.
